Great for these types of students

If you want more one on one time with the teachers and you don't like huge lecture halls, then Everett Community College is the best place for you. The class sizes are farely small, with usually no more than 35 students.

Tips for prospective students

Learn how to study effevtively. The college teachers treat you like adults, so you have to be in charge of keeping your grades up. You have to motivate yourself, no one else is going to.

Bang for the buck

A community college will always be cheaper than a university and it's great. I love being able to learn the same material as university students and pay just a fraction of the cost.

Am enjoying being here

I moved up here from Olympia, WA, so I don't have as many friends as I would like in all of my classes. But that also helps to focus better, and it's easy to make new friends at EVCC because everyone is friendly for the most part.

Am learning a lot

The teachers really know what they're teaching. They understand the material and are able to relay the information to the students very effectively. The teachers are here to help, they won't turn anyone away, which is comforting. The curriculum is at a good level. It pushes you to work hard and to study hard, but it is also graspable.

Great for these types of students

Anyone on a budget, especially for general university entry requirements. Core classes are in abundance, and can round out a transcript nicely. There aren't as many technical classes as other types, though, so this college is definitely for the transfer student or more artistically-inclined.

Tips for prospective students

Don't be afraid to talk about it! If you have a question or concern, there's somebody to help you with it. Study and hard work will pay off, but in the off chance that you're having trouble in a class, the staff offices are within easy reach. Be warned, though - not all professors keep long, regular hours. Planning meetings in advance is definitely to your benefit.

Bang for the buck

Community college is less expensive than a university, but that doesn't negatively impact the quality of material at all. In fact, many of the classes here directly correlate to other institutions, even at higher levels, so you don't need to worry about breaking the bank to get an education.

Am enjoying being here

The campus is a very friendly place, and makes me feel right at home. I have the opportunity to study quietly in the library, work on group projects, or maybe just grab some coffee at one of the locations on campus. It has all the elements of a good environment for whatever you need.

Am learning a lot

In the classes I have taken, the instructors really know what they're teaching. There is always room for class discussion of a topic, even if it eats some of the class time - thoroughly exploring a topic is the most important concern (within reason!) and there are plenty of resources to help with understanding, from tutoring services to other students.

Jovana from Marysville, WA

i've never heard of anything dangerous going on, so it would seem the campus is well protected.

Great for these types of students

everett seems very focused on nursing... so this is great for nursing students but also for anyone wanting to stay close to home and get a quality education.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

the gym has an indoor track thats a couple floors up so you can run and watch people play basketball or volleyball from a birds eye view.

Bang for the buck

the classes are a lot cheaper then they would be at a university and the teachers do a great job of making sure students retain material.

What to do for fun

there are a lot of really great hang out spots and areas to do homework all throughout campus. the school has wifi everywhere so grab a seat and surf the web if you're between classes. also the gym has open gym hours so if you're into sports the gym is really nice. also the cafeteria is pretty roomy but it can fill up kind of fast especially when the school has live music going.

Food and Dining

the campus food is delicious. they have chefs on site that prepare the food as you order and also have food that is premade/prepackaged. the food tends to get expensive if you are buying it everyday. but it is great tasting none the less.

Dorm Life

we don't have dorms.

Academic Rigor

all the teachers i've had really utilize class time and make sure that we are retaining the information. everett community college really strives to ensure that they are teaching at university standards at community college prices, i feel as if i'm going to be well prepared when it comes time to transfer.

Tips for prospective students

if you are new to the campus i'd advise you to visit the campus before the first week of school to find your classes. also pack your own lunch because campus food gets expensive.

In three sentences

everett community college is a beautiful campus. it's nice sized and has had a lot of remodeling in the last couple of years. the cafeteria and gym are to die for, and the campus is always kept very clean.

Campus Safety

i have never had any issues with other people presenting a safety concern, and even had the experience of having my ebook reader returned to me rather than stolen, as i thought it had been. however, last quarter their was a problem with the elevator in my building and the fire alarm went off, forcing everyone to flee the building,coughing and choking on the smoke in the air. apparently the elevator hadn't been maintained properly and there was a leak of some kind. this is the only instance where i felt unsafe. i certainly haven't been on that elevator since.

Clubs and Activities

there are many clubs and activities constantly going on at this school, and there is something for everyone to be a part of, from math and engineering club to students for environmental action to community service.

Great for these types of students

students who want to be able to have face to face interaction with their teachers and fellow students will enjoy the small class sizes. those who wish to save money on schooling while still getting an associates degree before they move on to higher education will also appreciate the low tuition cost.

Bang for the buck

evcc is a relatively cheap option for getting your associaties degree or whatever your goals are! there are many great teachers that are no less qualified than those at universities, and there are smaller class sizes and more student to teacher interaction than at these bigger schools as well. overall it is a very economical and money-saving option for starting your college education.

What to do for fun

evcc is always bustling with student activities and events- from special guests to club meetings to theatrical productions! their website is a great place to look at some of these activities, and there is really something for everyone.

Food and Dining

there is a great cafeteria at evcc that i have heard serves a variety of good foods, though i have never bought anything there myself because i am trying to keep expenses down. there are also smaller cafes around campus that serve things like smoothies and snacks, and there are many restaurants and fast food places nearby campus, including a subway right across the street. no starbucks, though, unfortunately.

Dorm Life

evcc is a community college so there aren't dorms like there are at private colleges. the campus is a neat and pretty place to walk around or study in, though, including many cozy and well furnished meeting areas to have a study group or just to do homework in.

Academic Rigor

i suppose it depends on the classes you take, but i have found all of my classes to be at least somewhat challenging while also not being too overwhelming. i have taken both 100 and 200 level classes and both were of adequate academic rigor for their respective levels. some classes are harder than others, but they can be handled with the help of other classmates, the teacher, and the library!

Tips for prospective students

don't be afraid to talk to an advisor or to your teachers! i didn't see an advisor until the quarter before i intended to transfer, and i wish i had been more proactive about getting and meeting with one before because they are truly helpful and informative. teachers are also often available to meet with to get help or extra practice and tips, and i have learned alot by making the effort to meet with some of my teachers and discuss the coursework.

In three sentences

evcc is a great way to start your college education or continue your education. the campus is clean and attractive, the teachers are qualified and well informed for the most part, and the college offers many different programs and classes, from nursing to fire science to criminal justice. of course, no school is perfect, and going to evcc does have a few drawbacks- most notably the limited and always crowded parking (currently under construction), their difficult-to-navigate website, and their sometimes less-than-helpful office staff- but i have found it to be an overall a good experience.

Dresden from Marysville, WA

I always feel safe at EvCC. Security is always roaming the entire campus and I feel confident that the college does all they can to ensure their students safety

Greek Life

There is an honor society that provides scholarships!

Clubs and Activities

TONS

Great for these types of students

Great for students who can't afford Universities and those that prefer to not live in dorms. Great for returning students and those that work and need to go to night school. Good for parents that need child care in order to go to school (there is a day care on campus). Great for continuing education.

Bang for the buck

Tuition keeps going up but it's not unique to EvCC. The education you get here is superb.

What to do for fun

The college is always putting on activities and giving discount tickets to local sporting events and entertainment.

Food and Dining

The cafe is good and pretty reasonable, but crowded and choices are limited. The bookstore has some food items but not many and most are not very healthy. The barista stands here are good! They make good coffee and supply delicious oatmeal. There is a subway just down the street from the college.

Dorm Life

There is no dorm

Academic Rigor

You will get an excellent education here. The professors here are super knowledgable and want nothing but the best for students. Be prepared to work hard for the good education found here.

Tips for prospective students

Sign up for classes early, early, early! They fill up fast. Use your resources and talk to your advisors to make sure you are getting all that you need. Show up to classes early or you will find NO parking. Cafe is good and reasonable but crowded. Get to know your professors.

In three sentences

Everett Community College is a nurturing environment that is rich with knowledge. You can acquire a University level education for half the price. It's a great college that continues to grow and improve.

Campus Safety

The campus safety at Everett Community College is tight. There are security guards all around campus at all times of the day. If you are worried, a security guard will even walk you to your house or dorm.

Greek Life

Greek life is great here at Everett Community College. Students who are getting married have big weddings and there are numerous Greek restaurants minutes from campus. Greek life is fun and exciting on and off of campus.

Clubs and Activities

Clubs are all over the school. There are foreign language clubs etc. But there are also extracurricular activities like track, cross country, golf, zumba, etc.

Great for these types of students

Everett Community College is great for students who want to enjoy their college life but also get a great education. It is a place to meet new people from all walks of life. However, your education is still important here; the teachers work to help you and tutors are always available.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There are a ton of unusual traditions on campus. At Everett Community College we try to keep life fun. We have dunk tanks, dances on the front lawn, and culture days.

Bang for the buck

Everett Community College is affordable. There are cheap restaurants and you can buy used books and even sell them back when your classes are over. Parking is also very inexpensive.

What to do for fun

There are a lot of fun things to do on and around campus. At different times of the year there are different events such as culture day, dunk tanks, and dance parties.

Food and Dining

There are a ton of restaurants on and around campus. These restaurants range in price and quality. The service is fast which makes it easy to grab a bit to eat in between classes.

Dorm Life

Living on campus is great. The students are fun but they are also mature enough to focus on academics. At different times during the year there are outside entertainment such as dunk tanks, fun fests, and cultural days.

Academic Rigor

The teachers are touch and grade hard but if you put your mind to it you will do great. Stay on top of your assignments and come to class every day. Talk to your adviser and teachers when you are having problems; they will help you work it out.

Tips for prospective students

Get to school at least a half an hour before your first class starts so that you will have time to find parking. Also, register for your classes as soon as you can. Finally, meet with your adviser to talk about your problems and goals.

In three sentences

Everett Community College is a fun and exciting place to study. It is a diverse community and the teachers take time to get to know you. Students are friendly and are from all walks of life.

Celeste from Camano Island, WA

Getting requirements done here is the way to go in terms of saving money. You pay by the credit, so you aren't wasting money by taking less classes.

What to do for fun

Currently, there is a great gym to pass the time. Although, I didn't spend much time on campus, so I don't really know what else is available.

Food and Dining

The on campus food is very good, and has a variety of choices. My only complaint is that it is mildly expensive. I like how there are two different espresso stands on campus.

Dorm Life

Did not stay in dorms, they weren't available while I was attending, and i am not planning to stay in dorms this upcoming school year.

Academic Rigor

This school allows you to kick back and take it easy, but the best way to go is to challenge yourself. Taking a higher course load will show you just what you can do, and will prepare you for tough programs in your academic future.

Tips for prospective students

It is very important to utilize all available resource. This includes everything from financial aid to the library and meeting with your professors. Grab few friends from your class as go-to-study-buddies and you are on your way to graduation.

In three sentences

I completed 2 years at this school, and am returning to continue my education. I think this is a terrific school, which is great for beginning as well as advanced students. It has a very professional atmosphere in which you cannot help but succeed in.

Desirae from Snohomish, WA

I feel very safe on camp. Even when I leave school late at night by myself and walk to my car.

What to do for fun

There are lots of activities and clubs to get involved with on campus.

Food and Dining

Food is decent in the cafeteria. I don't eat it very often.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms at EvCC

Academic Rigor

There are some easy classes and some that are a lot more challenging. It all depends on the teacher and course. I had good teachers that challenged me and really made me learn.

Tips for prospective students

Do not be afraid to ask for help. Everyone needs help at some point, and if you don't ask, you will never get any better at studying, or any smarter in that subject.

In three sentences

EvCC has excellent teachers that are involved in the students learning. There are great enviroments on campus to study with other students or alone. There are lots of ways to recieve help when needed, my favorite is the Tutoring Center, and Writing Center.

Food and Dining

School Cafe has a good selection, and if there's nothing there that you want, the campus is right off of Broadway, where you can find something.

Dorm Life

Neutral rating as I don't live in the dorms. Hear that they're at least decent though.

Academic Rigor

As a prospective Science Major, my Adviser has recommended that I only work 10-15 hours a week due to the workload.

Tips for prospective students

Definitely sign up for classes ASAP! Otherwise you're likely to find that the English and Math classes that you need are full (some exceptions would likely be higher level math classes like Calc. or above).

Nathaniel from Lake Stevens, WA

In Evcc, there is a beautiful and large cafe that I enjoy getting my coffee or a small snack in between classes.

Dorm Life

College is close by, so I don't need one.

Academic Rigor

I enjoy going to college and this is my 3rd quarter and am looking forward to completing my education in a more vas college and get my degrees and become a successful women's health doctor.

Tips for prospective students

For underclass students, I recommend going to running start as soon as you get the opportunity!

In three sentences

As a running start student, it's very intriguing to experience new opportunities at this age and still continue my education as a high school student. I enjoy comparing high school standards and experiences to that of college, it's just so different .

Academic Rigor

This school has many options for career paths and choices of courses but may be limited. Academically this facility has very good instructor on top of their schedules and curriculum.

Tips for prospective students

I'd recommend staying on top of all course work and have an adviser to guide you to and through your career path of interest.

In three sentences

Overall Everett Community College is a great campus full of many opportunities, fabulous instructors, and a wide range of courses. This campus is undergoing many maintenance changes such is the brand new nursing facility as well as expanding the campus.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

On Halloween the whole campus dressed up in a lot of different costumes. I was surprised because i didn't know that college campuses dressed up. There was fun Halloween parties going on in the cafe. The college was really alive and i thought it was a lot of fun.

What to do for fun

There are many different activities. There are art shows, and sports games. The whole college gets together for these and its a lot of fun to be apart of.

The food is great, dining can sometimes get crowded in the cafe, but what cafe doesnt? the important thing is that the food is good and not slop, it puts the high school food to the bottom of the list.

Anon from Clinton, WA

Those high school students who want more challenging classes than the ones offered in high school (and want to save money, at that)

Bang for the buck

I am a senior in high school and I am in the running start program. It's honestly one of the best choices I've ever made in my life. Not only am I saving money, but I am also earning college credits while still in high school. I can't be any happier :)

Dorm Life

Don't live in a dorm.

In three sentences

A great place to start my college career. Couldn't be any happier with the classes and the amount of choices you are given.

Greek Life

None

Clubs and Activities

They are definitely present, but I never got involved because I didn't have time. But they are offered.

Great for these types of students

Ones that want classes that are on the small side. If you aren't sure what you want to major in, it's a great school because they offer a huge range of classes. Also if you are a part time student it's great.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The drama department puts on great shows every quarter.

Bang for the buck

For Running Start it was good, although tuition started to go up...but you will definitely save money going here for prerequisites rather than a four year university.

Tips for prospective students

Definitely talk to an adviser. Find out who will be able to help you, and USE them when planning out your education plans. Your advisers will know what you need to do, or who to talk to. Don't do it by yourself, or you'll end up spending more time and energy than you need to.

In three sentences

It is a good school, a very good choice for starting your education journey. It's much smarter to start here, and then go to a 4-year university. The school is small, so you get more for your money.

Thi from Everett, WA

There's a corner in campus which has a coat and hat of a fire fighter who died when evcc was burned

What to do for fun

Join club, student activities, check out events, go to gym...

Tips for prospective students

use the library resourses as much as you can because you can save money from buying textbook. join a club!

In three sentences

Evcc has a perfect campus environment where you will get the most education you need. They also has the best nursing faculty and facility in Washington. Campus has great student activities, events and club that you can enjoy.

Malorie from Lake Stevens, WA

Any student going into healthcare would appreciate a school like EVCC. As the fields are equally as competitive, they offer a wide variety of healthcare opportunities and pathways to higher education.

Bang for the buck

I think Everett Community College is most definately an affordable way to start any education process out there. For the many opportunities EVCC has to offer and the amazing true education you receive I think it is the best bang for your buck in the state!

Food and Dining

Everett Community College has a new dining area and the new menu has proven to be the best. Offering a wide variety of foods you can go there any time of day and be satisfied with your purchases.

Academic Rigor

I am currently enrolled in the Nursing program and the instructors strive to provide you with the best and most real life nursing education out there. They are extremely competitive and hold high standards so that their graduates are equally as prepared and educated to enter the career field after graduation.

Tips for prospective students

Take advantage of all the help they have to offer with counseling and career advisers, they are amazing people who want the best for you,

What to do for fun

Sports events are always advertised and students have the opportunity to be involved in clubs as well. In several buildings students are also able to showcase their art. Also the drama department loves to show what they achieved as well; their are shows regularly.

Tips for prospective students

Talk to an advisor if you need help making a plan, any faculty member can be an advisor and if you need the help make sure you as for it. I have never had someone turn me away, all of the faculty aims to give the support that students want and need.

In three sentences

The atmosphere at EvCC is open and welcoming. I always feel that if I need to find the answer to something that the teachers and staff are accommodating and helpful. The campus is easy to get around and well maintained; if you're looking to further your education at a community college I recommend EvCC.

Great for these types of students

People who are wishing to avoid massive student loans, people who don't mind smaller schools, and people who find normal dorm life distracting.

Bang for the buck

Definitely cheaper than attending a university. And utilizing EvCC's University Center to earn a Bechelor's degree there will save you a ton of money! Yeah, you'll probably not get the same campus experience, but in this economy it's porably better to avoid loans, no?

Food and Dining

Haven't tried much of it yet, though I'm guessing it's pretty average.

Dorm Life

Not much here...they have some student housing available, but only a couple of apartment buildings. However, it is in Everett, so there's stuff to do downtown.

Academic Rigor

Textbooks look good and challenging, and I know lots of the teachers enjoy their jobs here. Of course, as in any school, some teachers are more rigorous than others, but then you get to choose how much of a challenge you want.

Tips for prospective students

Look into Learning Communities! They let you take two classes that go together, geared towards a specific topic, so that you can get a more in-depth look at a subject. Also, don't skip out on advising - it's really important that you plan out your classes correctly.

In three sentences

The campus is easy to navigate (one advantage of a smaller school!) and doesn't take too long to get from building to building. They've also added lots of new stuff in the past few years, like the student gym. There's also the University Center, which is where you can attend some of the state's major colleges/universities through EvCC.

Dave from Everett, WA

Campus is generally clean. I would not say it is safe. Especially if you walk more than 100 yards away from the campus, bad neighborhood.

Bang for the buck

Unless you are taking nursing, the classes are really poorly run, all teachers are part time (often paid contractors), who have full time jobs and then come in on contract.

Food and Dining

There is a food area, with some drinks and food, nice but it closes way to early, if you are taking late classes.

Dorm Life

No dorms.

Academic Rigor

Educations level is High School level or worst. Everett CC IT department standard of teaching is: 1. No instruction. 2. Personnel stories. 3. Assignments with out any support. 4. If you have a lab, expect have to listen 2 hours of lecture and given 30 minutes to complete assignments (with no help). 5. Expected to already know everything. 6. If you ask questions, they refer a student to the internet or the book. 7 Never, ever, ask questions, or they will give you a bad grade. 8. Also, the instructors are abusive, verbally.

Tips for prospective students

If you are looking for an education, find another college. This community college is really a nursing school, their main charter is nursing, and all the departments are there to provide general eduction. I am working on a degree in IT (Computer Science). The department is nice building with new computers. But the instruction is a nightmare. I would say the instruction is down right terrible. (instructors are all paid contractors). I would avoid taking classes at this college. If you want to sit around for 12 weeks listening to a instructor talk about her previous career, and waste all your time. If you want to learn IT or get an education in a professional learning environment, you will not find it at Everett CC.

The campus itself has majorly developed over the course of the last 5 years. It was originally built across the street from a grocery store; since then, that same grocery store has turned into a building Everett CC uses for classes and courses.

Bang for the buck

Tuition at Everett Community College is relatively less expensive compared to a private/public university. I'd say the tuition is more-so affordable, but then again I can't speak for everyone's financial situation.

What to do for fun

Everett Community College is located next to water, so during summers you have the opportunity to spend time at Jetty Island. The campus is also located next to the Comcast Arena, where you can enjoy ice-skating and seasonal hockey games. Everett also provides a few local food joints that provide different types of food and beverages.

Food and Dining

The food at Everett Community College is great! Whether you are looking for a quick-bite, or an energizing coffee, you should be able to find numerous food choices on campus. The cafeteria is relatively small, but it does offer space to study and socialize.

Dorm Life

Unfortunately, Everett Community College does not offer housing on campus. The closest housing you will find will most likely be a local apartment/condominium complex.

Academic Rigor

Academic rigor varies on the type and general difficulty of some classes. Don't expect to put forth the same effort you would taking a yoga class as the amount of effort you'd put into taking a physics class. As long as you study and take advantage of the student resource centers, you are set for success.

Tips for prospective students

Feel free to ask your professor questions regarding the material in any classes you are struggling with. Everett Community College offers many resources to students, including tutoring centers that offer great help. Always remember to stay on top of homework and keep your schedule organized.

The student resources have made my college experience less stressful. I enjoy the relatively small campus size, so it's easy to park and transport between classes and clubs. The class sizes are also small, so students are able to communicate with professors inside and outside of the classroom.

Academic Rigor

Once you are passed the very basic pre-req classes and into the core classes, things get tough. You will need to spend about 45minutes a day on each class you are in, and find ways to relate what you are studying to your future career.

Make sure you apply for all of the scholarships you can. Make sure to spend time volunteering your time at places that interest you. Take advantage of the smaller class sizes and get to know your professors, they can help you transition to the university once you are done at EVCC.
